Rebrand That PDF eBook at Post Affiliate Pro

Pete Prestipino — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:48:00 GMT

Affiliate management platform Post Affiliate Pro released a pretty interesting new affiliate feature today dubbed Rebrand PDF which allows affiliates to automatically change affiliate links within ebooks.

While that may only appeal to a certain segment of our audience, it’s a pretty creative way to capitalize on the surge of content that’s about to hit the Web (thanks in part to e-reader devices) and should catch the attention of both advertisers and publisher/affiliates on how they might monetize PDFs in the future.

"PDF's are frequently demanded by top affiliates and until now it's been a hassle for them to be created via branding EXE's or manually requesting them from the affiliate manager, resulting in reduced affiliate sales potential," says Viktor Zeman, Co-Founder and Senior Developer of Quality Unit Ltd.

PDF Rebrand supports pdf's created by several platforms including Adobe Acrobat and Open Office. Common variables such as name and affiliate link have been augmented by support for 25 additional custom variables, making personalization by affiliates now more important than ever.
